I recently encountered a situation where I had to retrieve data from a MYSQL
database table with a field named "include". My code looked like this:
$content_result = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM calander') or
die(mysql_error());
$content_row = mysql_fetch_array($content_result);
if ($content_row[include])
{go do something;}
When I tried to run this, PHP treated the word -include- as a control
structure rather than an index name. Understandable. So, I put it in single
quotes ('include') to see what would happen and it works fine. But I don't
understand why!
What is the difference between $content_row [include] and
$content_row['include']? I have been unable to resolve this question in the
php manual, I need enlightenment.
